Ready Set GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I logged on to post today and the blog has had over 450 views!  WHAT??????  Who knew people wanted to hear me talk about this journey.  Surely not me! 

My next short term goal is to get into the  330's.  I was at 347 last Friday when I weighed in.  That means my goal is to lose 7 pounds to hit this goal.  I am not giving it a time limit (I don't want to set myself up for failure); but I wanted to have a small goal to look forward to.  Sometimes looking at the big picture is overwhelming.   When I get to the 330's I will celebrate by buying myself a new pretty shade of fingernail polish.  I know it's something silly, but I thought that would allow me to think of the goals I am accomplishing every time I wear that color.

Since I started this journey in August, I have packed my breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner every day.  I believe one time I did eat out, but it was planned and I was prepared.  Now, I can say that it is a habit to pack everything the night before (or have Rob pack it).  It makes life so much better and easier. 

Today was a little bump in the road.  I over slept and missed my Fit Energy class.  I was not happy when I rolled over at 6:30 to see that I had missed it.  No excuses, but I think I really was just worn out.  I wound up working on Monday (Labor Day), having class Monday night and then working 8am-9pm Tuesday; Wednesday came along and I had to work then go straight to class.  THEN I had homework that was due in my one online class by midnight.  So I was up late, and just worn out. 

NO EXCUSES.  I missed my work out.  I woke up not happy.  I woke up sad that I had missed it and disappointed in myself.  What can I do to fix that?  Go home after work and work my ass off doing my 14 Day Challenge homework and my Fit Energy homework.  Got to get it done.

I also am sending my food journal to Lori (Fit Energy Trainer) for her review.  I am eager to get feedback from her and see where improvements can be made.  It will be nice to see what she thinks.  I know I am still not making 100% the best choices all the time, but what I will say is that I am happier in general than I have been in a LONG time.  It's hard to admit that your weight bothered you.  I have ALWAYS been the girl who got along with everyone, laughed with everyone, was surrounded by friends, went out, etc.... but deeply inside I am a different person WAITING to come out. 
I want to do things like: zip lines, sky diving, hiking, running, kayaking, obstacle courses, mud runs, color runs, sit ups, push ups, pull ups, planks, box jumps, climbing ropes, jumping rope, trampoline jumping, bungee jumping, para sailing, hang gliding, ride roller coasters........ You get the picture right?

I don't have a bucket list.  I have a FIT LIST :)

It's time to be the ME I want to be.  The ME I have ALWAYS been buried deep inside this out of shape, overweight body.  Done. Done. Done with the old me!


 Ready... Set... Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
